Hello Norma and Julie, Thanks for this information on the marriage of Isabella PETRIE to Alexander LANARCH in Edinburgh, on Feb 1, 1861. I'm still trying to determine if the oldest son of Donald PETRIE and Jane DALLAS, one George PETRIE, is the father of my Great Grandmother Catherine PETRIE. Try as I might I cannot connect the two Georges with any certainty! As you may recall, the only information I have about Catherine's parents is from her marriage certificate, where her parents are listed as George PETRIE, deceased Blacksmith and Elizabeth CAMPBELL also deceased at the time of her wedding in 1872. I also have Catherine listed in the 1861 census as a cowherd (servant) on the BREMNER farm in Wick as a 12 year old. Somewhere in Wick, she must be listed on the 1851 census along with her parents, but I have not come across such a listing. It is interesting that Isabella PETRIE is listed on Jane DALLAS' death certificate as having been born about 1835....it appears that her actual birth was probably in 1836 or 1837. She was the youngest child of Donald PETRIE and Jane DALLAS . This family certainly seems to have travelled quite a bit.....Donald PETRIE apparently travelled to Glasgow from Wick to marry Jane DALLAS...they moved to Wick after their second child was born......Catherine, their grandaughter (possibly) moved from Wick to Glasgow to marry Andrew MOYES....it's no wonder they're so hard to trace!!
